Blue Jays Legend Makes Guerrero Jr. Statement
Guerrero Jr. has struggled in a big way this season.
The six-time MLB All-Star is batting .263 with 113 hits, seven home runs, 46 RBIs, 61 runs and seven stolen bases in 115 games.
Recently, Blue Jays legend Josh Donaldson spoke about Guerrero Jr. (via Get It Done League).
Donaldson: “We’re going to find out a lot about Vlad right now because you are who you are when it’s the toughest times. Are you that same guy when it’s hard?… As I said about Rocky, one of my favorite quotes: ‘It’s not how hard you can punch; it’s how hard you can get punched and get back up.’ Right now, he’s on the ground… He’s an easy punching bag right now… He doesn’t have one home run at Rogers Centre… You make $500 million, you don’t have a home run in the homer dome, come on… Flip the switch, because we’ve all got one… We’re going to see what he’s made of.”
